You would not need to file a separate lawsuit for unlawful detainer. I would recommend hiring an attorney to file a motion for a writ of possession in the original foreclosure case as a 3rd party purchaser.

How do I remove a non-occupying co-borrower from my mortgage?
Refinancing is the best option.

A partition action may also be a option. See my website for more information regarding a partition... View More

Legally, you can start the eviction process for non-payment of rent. However, most counties will not complete the process by executing a writ of possession (aka removing her from the property) due to the pandemic.
Due to the coronavirus we wish to cancel the purchase of the Georgia home and are afraid of the financial repercussions or the seller and broker suing us. Can we legally get out of the real estate contract due to the coronavirus?

Georgia contract = Georgia attorney. A Georgia attorney would need to review the contract for your legal options.
